Sophie's stalker

Sophie Ellis-Bextor has revealed that she used to have a stalker who would send her "creepy" text messages in the middle of the night for years.

The pop star and mother-of-two, married to The Feeling's Richard Jones, has written all about her experience in a song for her new album.

The 30-year-old singer said:

"One of the really dancey songs on the album is all about a stalker I had. He sends me texts now and then, sometimes late at night. They put the whole lyrics to one of my songs in a text which was pretty unnerving and quite annoying as well. So there's a song about that. I do also get phone calls with a load of drunk people laughing in the background and then they hang up. That's pretty annoying as well."

How many people does she hand her number out to we wonder?

But Sophie, who is enjoying juggling motherhood, looking after five-year-old Sonny and Kit, four months, and a music career added:

"I think if they knew where I lived and started making comments like, 'I saw you leave you're house at 9.59.'

"That would unnerve me. But really, all of the annoyance is a very small price to pay to be able to have a career in music. I don't feel too encumbered."
